Independent TD for Tipperary North and racehorse owner Michael Lowry has been a big supporter of the development, which is set to create 1,000 jobs in building the facility, while a further 1,350-2,000 full-time positions will be needed once the complex is opened.

Tipperary North A constituency with strong racing and breeding interests, this is the home patch of independent TD Michael Lowry, one of the main proponents, along with slot-machine magnate Richard Quirke, of a massive casino and tourism complex on a greenfield site at Two Mile Borris, that would also incorporate a state-of-the-art racecouse facility.

The works comprise the routine maintenance of approximately 400 bridges on the national road network in counties kerry, waterford, tipperary north and tipperary south, phased over 2 years with a 52 week defects correction period.

And when the chief lobbyist for the project, Michael Lowry, TD for the Tipperary North constituency, announced that "finance for the project is not an issue and it would not require any state aid or grants", nobody posed the obvious question as to where exactly the EUR460m budget will come from.
